Many of the film adaptations of King are completely lame-
"It" could be the worst, only good thing was Tim Curry and his Pennywise wasn't nearly evil or brutal enough. They made an NC-17 novel as a TV mini-series...
"The Langoliers" utter crap adaptation
"The Stand" good fucking god.
IMO the best adaptations have been "The Shining" (both versions),
"Creepshow" (possibly the best of his horror adaptations)
Carpenter's "The Fog"
"Shawshank Redemption"
"The Dead Zone" movie
"Stand By Me"
"The Green Mile"
"Carrie"
"Misery"
I think King gets a bad rap because of the bad adaptations, but in reality he is one of America's great living fiction writers.
